I completely forgot to post some photos of this little thistle handbag I made for one of our Farmgirls back at the end of January. So here it is! The fabric on the flap is a sheer black fabric sandwiched on top of a cotton print, so I could get more of a contrast with my embroidery design.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Thank you! I'm still learning that whole photography thing. I find it more challenging than the stitching and sewing part of making the handbags.
Marianne, I have a Brother embroidery machine. It just does embroidery, and I use my sturdy old Kenmore for all of my sewing.

I was wondering if anyone would try to guess who it went to, based on the design motif.
